NUREG-1537, Part 2 - NRC

Revew Procedures
AUXLARY SYSmEm
The reviewer should evaluate the five items listed at the beginning of Chapter 9 of
the format and content guide for auxiliary systems and facilities that possess or use
byproduct material produced in the reactor, source material, or special nuclear
material, as allowed by the 10 CFR Part 50 license.
The reviewer should compare the design bases for systems and procedures with
the requirements developed in other chapters of the SAR, especially Chapters 11
and 12, "Conduct of Operations"; should evaluate the design features against
experience with possession and use of radioactive materials at other facilities and
laboratories; and evaluate agreement with the acceptance criteria.
An important aspect of the control and use of this material is found in operations
and health physics procedures. Although review of the actual procedures is not
necessary, the reviewer should examine the basis for the procedures and the
method for review and approval of facility procedures described in Chapter 12 of
the SAR. In some cases, the reviewer may audit selected procedures as part of the
review. -Normally, inspectors selectively review procedures as part of the
construction and startup inspection process or as part of the ongoing inspection
program for existing facilities.
Evaluafion Finings
This section of the SAR should contain sufficient information' to support thefollowing
types of conclusions, iich willl be included in the stafs'safety"
evaluation report:
Auxiliary facilities and systems are designed for the possession and use of
byproduct materials produced by the reactor and (if applicable) source and
special nuclear material. The design bases include limits onrpotential
personnel exposures that are in compliance with 10 CFR Part 20 and are
consistent with the facility ALARA program, as described in'Chapter 11. '
* To ensure that radiation exposures are acceptably limited, the design
features and license conditions specify upper limits on source strengths of
radionuclides authorized for possession or use in the auxiliary facilities
under the 10 CFR Part 50 license. The applicant has described the
authorized spaces for use of the material.
* Design features and procedures provide reasonable assurance that
uncontrolled release of radioactive material to the unrestricted environment
will not occur.
